System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libuv'

[munyirik]

I hit this issue when trying to run an asp.net 5 server on my Raspberry Pi 2 (with Windows IoT Core).

Repro steps:

1. Installed arm coreclr with: dnvm install latest -r coreclr -arch arm -u
2. Created new asp.net 5 web application in VS (with no modifications of my own) and published with: dnu publish --out C:\projects\asp5 --runtime dnx-coreclr-win-arm.1.0.0-rc2-16357.
3. Copied the published files to RPi2 and ran the application.

Result:
.\asparm\approot\web.cmd : System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libuv': The specified module could not be found. (Exception
from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (System.DllNotFo...LT: 0x8007007E):String) [], RemoteException

Workaround
Copied \approot\packages\Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel\1.0.0-rc1-final\runtimes\win10-arm\native\libuv.dll to \approot\packages\Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel\1.0.0-rc1-final\lib\dnxcore50

Looks like the same issue as #216

This was fixed post RC1

@moozzyk where can I get RC1 (edit RC2) from?

@munyirik you need to wait for rc2 release. until then use the workaround.
